Hot Cross Buns - Lots of work but I think you'll agree they are worth it

1 stick butter ----------------------------------- 2 1/2 cups milk

2 packages yeast ------------------------------- 1 cup honey

1 teaspoon salt --------------------------------- 8 cups flour

Warm milk ( 120 deg), melt butter and mix yeast till dissolved then add rest ingredients except flour, mix till smooth. Add flour and knead into soft ball (add flour till not sticky). Cover and let rise for 1 hour in warm place.

While dough is rising - make Filling

1/2 cup butter ---------------------------------------- 1/2 cup sugar

1 cup flour ------------------------------------------- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all till crumbly.

Roll dough out to 1/8 inch on floured board, cut into rectangle shapes (make 3). Spread filling mix evenly over rectangles and roll into logs, cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. Place on greased cookie sheet so sides do not touch (they will double in size)

Take 1 egg (beaten) and mix with 2 teaspoons water and spread over tops of rolls. Bake at 400 for 8 to 10 mins.

Frosting

1 cup confectionery sugar ------------------------------ 1 teaspoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla -------------------------------------- Enough water to mix to spreading consistency

Mix all till thick and smooth. After buns have cooled make a cross onto of each.
